development of policy on the use of cellular phones and wireless
communication devices.
Dr. Grunenwald noted that Clarion University had recently
developed and approved its Right to Know policy and was working
on procedures to clearly define the types of records it would retain,
the offices charged with retaining various records, and the duration
of retention. He further noted that Clarion was working on a policy
to address issues of taxation on payments and reimbursements
made by the university to employees for their use of cell phones

Senator Jeff Piccola that would limit annual tuition increases to the
inflation rate and apply to students attending PASSHE universities

schools. He noted that funding for the Piccola plan was to come, in
part, from the state’s tax credit program for movies made in PA.
Noting that Clarion University had the lowest family income of any
